[plt-scheme] vi mode and editor questions

Given a bookshelf at work fell on my MacBook Pro, my Ubuntu 8.10 machine
running 4.1.3.1-svn22nov2008 [3m] is happy to test Robby's code.  This
is what I get when I press C-d:

  key-code #\d control #t

When I do the experiment myself (code below) I get what you seem to
want. I'm on a mac tho, and I don't have a linux machine handy to
test. So, I'm not sure what the right answer is. Matthew would
probably know better, but maybe a first step is for you to try the
below.

#lang scheme/gui

(define t%
 (class text%
   (define/override (on-char evt)
     (printf "key-code ~s control ~s\n"
             (send evt get-key-code)
             (send evt get-control-down))
     (super on-char evt))
   (super-new)))

(define f (new frame% [label ""] [width 200] [height 200]))
(define t (new t%))
(define ec (new editor-canvas% [parent f] [editor t]))
(send ec focus)
(send f show #t)
